Where the quantum computing community gathers, both in person and online.

Major conferences

• QIP (Quantum Information Processing) — Annual; the flagship theory venue.
• TQC (Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication & Cryptography) — Theory-leaning, peer-reviewed proceedings.
• IEEE Quantum Week / QCE — Industry-heavy, broad scope.
• Q2B — Industry/applications focus.
• APS March Meeting — DQI sessions are a great pulse-check on hardware progress.

Workshops & schools

• Unitary Foundation events — Hack weeks (WERQSHOP), grants, and open-source work.
• QIP tutorials — Pre-conference tutorial day.
• Les Houches — Periodic summer schools on QI topics.

Online communities

• Quantum Computing Stack Exchange — Best Q&A site for QC questions.
• Unitary Foundation Discord — Active open-source community.
• Qiskit Slack — Vendor-run but broad.
• r/QuantumComputing — Mixed signal-to-noise but useful for news.

Newsletters

• The Quantum Insider — Industry news.
• Pirsa — Perimeter Institute talk archive (not a newsletter, but a great talk firehose).
